Numerical study of the Langevin theory for fixed-energy sandpiles.
The recently proposed Langevin equation, aimed to capture the relevant critical features of stochastic sandpiles and other self-organizing systems, is studied numerically. The equation is similar to the Reggeon field theory, describing generic systems with absorbing states, but it is coupled linearly to a second conserved and static (nondiffusive) field. It has been claimed to represent a diffe...
متن کاملSandpiles and absorbing-state phase transitions: recent results and open problems
We review some recent results on the relations between sandpiles and a class of absorbing state phase transitions. We use the concept of fixed energy sandpiles (FES), in which external driving and dissipation are absent. FES are shown to exhibit an absorbing state transition with critical properties coinciding with those of the corresponding sandpile model. We propose a set of Langevin equation...
متن کاملConfirming and extending the hypothesis of universality in sandpiles.
Stochastic sandpiles self-organize to an absorbing-state critical point with scaling behavior different from directed percolation (DP) and characterized by the presence of an additional conservation law. This is usually called the C-DP or Manna universality class. There remains, however, an exception to this universality principle: a sandpile automaton introduced by Maslov and Zhang, which was ...
متن کاملAbsorbing-state phase transitions in fixed-energy sandpiles
We study sandpile models as closed systems, with the conserved energy density zeta playing the role of an external parameter. The critical energy density zeta(c) marks a nonequilibrium phase transition between active and absorbing states. Several fixed-energy sandpiles are studied in extensive simulations of stationary and transient properties, as well as the dynamics of roughening in an interf...
متن کاملSticky grains do not change the universality class of isotropic sandpiles.
We revisit the sandpile model with "sticky" grains introduced by Mohanty and Dhar [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 104303 (2002)] whose scaling properties were claimed to be generically in the universality class of directed percolation for both isotropic and directed models. While for directed models this conclusion is unquestionable, for isotropic models we present strong evidence that the asymptotic sca...
متن کاملNonuniversal exponents in sandpiles with stochastic par - ticle number transfer
– We study fixed density sandpiles in which the number of particles transferred to a neighbor on relaxing an active site is determined stochastically by a parameter p. Using an argument, the critical density at which an active-absorbing transition occurs is found exactly. We study the critical behavior numerically and find that the exponents associated with both static and time-dependent quanti...
